4 1. NDUCTIVELY COUPLED RF PLASMA REACTORWTH FLOATING COL ANTENNA FOR REDUCED CAPACTIVE COUPLNG BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Technical Field The invention is related to improvements in inductively coupled radio frequency (RF) plasma reactors for reducing capacitive coupling from the coil antenna to the semicon ductor wafer, 2. Background Art An inductively coupled RF plasma reactor typically includes a reactor chamber with a wafer pedestal for sup porting a semiconductor wafer inside the chamber and a coil inductor or antenna over the chamber ceiling connected through an RF impedance match network to an RF power source. Gas introduced into the reactor chamber is ionized by the RF power coupled into the reactor chamber from the coil antenna to produce a plasma over the wafer. For various types of plasma processes carried out on the wafer, it is desirable that the plasma ion energy be distributed over a narrow range in order to optimize certain process param eters. For example, in an RF plasma etch process for etching a polysilicon layer formed over a thin oxide layer (e.g., a gate oxide layer) on the wafer, the etch process must have both high selectivity of polysilicon and high anisotropy. These goals can be met if the plasma ion energy is distrib uted over a narrow range. The plasma ion energy is controlled by a bias RF power generator connected to the wafer pedestal. The bias RF power applied to the wafer pedestal is capacitively coupled to the plasma and can provide the desired narrow distribu tion of plasma ion energy, in the absence of other capacitive coupling. The problemis that stray capacitive coupling from the coil antenna to the plasma broadens the distribution of plasma ion energy and thus reduces the performance of the RF plasma process. It is therefore a principal object of the invention to reduce any stray capacitive coupling from the coil antenna to the plasma. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In an inductively coupled RF plasma reactor having an inductive coil antenna connected through an RF impedance match network to an RF power source, capacitive coupling from the antenna to the plasma is reduced by isolating the coil antenna from the RF power source by an isolation transformer, so that the coil antenna has a floating potential. The output of the RF impedance match networkis connected across the primary winding of the isolation transformer while the floating coil antenna is connected across the secondary winding of the isolation transformer. The reduc tion in capacitive coupling has been quantitatively measured to be more than a factor of two, a significant advantage. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a plasma reactor apparatus embodying the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the isolation transformer employed in carrying out the invention. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of an alternative embodi ment of the isolation transformer employed in carrying out the invention. O FIG. 4 is a graph illustrating capacitively coupled RF current to the wafer from the inductive coilantenna with and without the isolation transformer of the embodiment of FG. 1. DETALED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODMENTS Referring to FIG. 1, an inductively coupled RF plasma reactor includes a grounded reactor chamber 10 having a grounded side wall 12 and ceiling 14 enclosing a wafer pedestal 20 for supporting a semiconductor wafer 30 to be processed. A gas inlet 40 introduces a processing gas into the chamber 10. The gas is ionized to produce a plasma over the wafer 30 by RF power inductively coupled to the plasma from an inductive coil antenna 50 wound over the ceiling of the chamber 10. The coil antenna 50 is coupled to an RF generator 60 through an RF impedance match network 70. Plasma ion energy at the wafer surface can be controlled by connecting a bias RF power generator 75 between the wafer pedestal 20 and ground. In order to isolate the inductive coil antenna 50 from the RF power generator 60, an isolation transformer 80 is interposed between the match network70 and the inductive coil antenna 50. Specifically, the isolation transformer 80 has a primary winding 82 and a secondary winding 84. The match network70 and RF generator 60 are connected across the primary winding 82 in the manner shown in the drawing, while the inductive coil antenna 50 is connected across the secondary winding 84. The isolation transformer 80 reduces or virtually elimi nates any D.C. potential between the generator 60 and the inductive coil antenna 50, so that the electric potential of the coil antenna 50 is floating with respect to the wafer pedestal 20. The advantage is that capacitive coupling between the coil antenna 50 and the pedestal 20/wafer 30 is reduced as well. The result is that the coil antenna 50 has less effect upon plasma ion energy at the wafer surface, namely less broadening of the plasma ion energy distribution. A narrow plasma ion energy distribution is required in a plasma etch process, for example, to obtain high etch selectivity and high etch anisotropy. The isolation transformer 80 may have an air gap between the primary and secondary windings 82, 84. Alternatively, the isolation transformer 80 may include a ferrite core 90 around which the primary and secondary windings 82, 84 are wound. Referring to FIG. 2, the ferrite core 90 may be circular and have a diameter of between about three and five inches. The primary and secondary windings 82, 84 may each have between about 5 and 10 turns. Referring to FIG.3, if an air gap is employed in lieu of the femite core 90, the primary and secondary windings 82, 84 may be in close proximity to one another. Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the primary winding 82 may consist of a single turn 82a disposed between a pair of successive turns 84a, 84b of the secondary winding 84. In accordance with one embodiment, the primary and secondary windings 82, 84 of FIG.3 may all have a uniform diameter of about two inches and the primary winding turn 82a is separated from the secondary winding turn 84a by 0.5 inch and from the other secondary winding 84b by 0.5 inch. The reduction in capacitive coupling achieved by the present invention has been quantitatively measured. Specifically, it has been found that the RF current from the plasma to the wafer pedestal induced by capacitive coupling is reduced by more than a factor of two.
5 3 A method of quantitatively measuring the RF current induced by capacitive coupling alone (as distinguished from that induced by inductive coupling alone) is described in co-pending U.S. application Ser. No. 08/475,878, filed on date even herewith by the inventors herein and entitled "METHOD OF MEASURING THE AMOUNT OF CAPACTIVE COUPLNG OF RF POWER IN AN INDUCTIVELY COUPLED PLASMA, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Essentially, that method involves separating the measured RF current from the plasma to the wafer pedestal into different frequency components, including a component at the fundamental frequency (F) of the RF generator 60 and the second harmonic (2F) thereof. The method further involves mea suring the amount of capacitive coupling by measuring the current of the fundamental component at frequency F. In testing the present invention, the quantitative measure ment method of the referenced co-pending application employed a current probe 100 monitoring the current from the wafer pedestal to ground (with the bias RF power generator 75 being bypassed) and an oscilloscope 110 con nected to the output of the current probe 100. The measure ment was carried out with the plasma source RF power generator 60 operating at a fundamental frequency of MHz. The inductively coupled component of the current measured by the current probe 100 produced a MHz sine wave trace on the oscilloscope 110 while the capaci tively induced component of the current measured by the current probe 100 produced a 13.56MHz sine wave trace on the oscilloscope 110. The amplitude of the latter component indicates the quantity of capacitive coupling and was observed over a large range of RF power of the generator 60. The results are plotted in the graph of FIG.4, in which the capacitively coupled component of the RF current through the probe 100 is plotted along the ordinate while the RF power is plotted along the abscissa. The curve with white squares illustrates the results obtained using the present invention. In a second test carried out in order to obtain comparative results, the isolation transformer 80 was bypassed and the RF power varied over the same range while the capacitively coupled component of the current through the probe 100 was monitored at the oscilloscope 110, and the results are plotted in FIG. 4 as the curve with black squares. Comparing the two curves, it is clear that the capacitively coupled component of the RF current to the wafer pedestal is reduced, at 300 Watts RF power for example, from 0.4 mato 0.16mA, which is animprovement by more than a factor of two. While the invention has been described in detail by specific reference to preferred embodiments, it is understood that variations and modifications thereof may be made without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention.
